Answer from: elizabethwaller8104

Gamma radiation

Explanation:

Gamma Radiation or Gamma Rays:

Type of electromagnetic radiation, and therefore formed by photons, generally produced by radioactive elements or subatomic processes such as the annihilation of a positron-electron pair. This type of radiation of such magnitude is also produced in astrophysical phenomena of great violence. Due to the high energies they possess, gamma rays constitute a type of ionizing radiation capable of penetrating matter more deeply than alpha or beta radiation. Given their high energy they can cause serious damage to the nucleus of the cells, so they are used to sterilize medical equipment and food. Gamma rays occur in the de-excitation of a nucleon from one level or excited state to another of lower energy and in the decay of radioactive isotopes. Gamma rays differ from x-rays in their origin, because the latter are produced at an extra-nuclear level, due to electronic braking phenomena. Generally associated with nuclear energy and nuclear reactors, radioactivity is found in our natural environment, from cosmic rays, which bombard us from the sun and galaxies outside our Solar System, to some radioactive isotopes that are part of our natural environment. In general, the gamma rays produced in space do not reach the surface of the Earth, as they are absorbed in the high atmosphere.

Gamma radiation can have the highest frequencies and, hence, the highest photon energies in the electromagnetic spectrum .

Answer

the order for strong to weak forces such as

strong nuclear force → electromegnetic force → weak nuclear force → gravitational force

explanation

the fundamental forces are those forces that act between to objects or element to make interactions. there are four types of fundamental forces such as strong and weak nuclear forces (due to protons and electrons), electromagnetic force (due to the motion of electrons) and gravitational force (due to orbital movement of the planet). if these forces are arranged on the basis of their maximum strength then the order is

strong nuclear force → electromegnetic force → weak nuclear force → gravitational force

Answer from: Quest

No because scientist are still changing there mines today so they are not correct to this day

The frequency of vibrations of a vibrating violin string is given by f = 1 2l t ρ where l is the length of the string, t is its tension, and ρ is its linear density.† (a) find the rate of change of the frequency with respect to the following. (i) the length (when t and ρ are constant) (ii) the tension (when l and ρ are constant) (iii) the linear density (when l and t are constant) (b) the pitch of a note (how high or low the note sounds) is determined by the frequency f. (the higher the frequency, the higher the pitch.) use the signs of the derivatives in part (a) to determine what happens to the pitch of a note for the following. (i) when the effective length of a string is decreased by placing a finger on the string so a shorter portion of the string vibrates df dl 0 and l is ⇒ f is ⇒ (ii) when the tension is increased by turning a tuning peg df dt 0 and t is ⇒ f is ⇒ (iii) when the linear density is increased by switching to another string df dρ 0 and ρ is ⇒ f is ⇒

Automobile fuel efficiency is often measured in miles that the car can be driven per gallon of fuel (mpg). heavier cars tend to have lower fuel efficiencies (lower mpg ratings). which variable (weight or fuel efficiency) is most naturally considered the explanatory (predictor) variable in this context?
